NEW DELHI: Team India's manager GS Walia downplayed the rift between skipper MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag over the rotation policy of senior players during the ongoing tri-series in Australia.
Walia said there was only a misunderstanding between the players, not a rift. But both Dhoni and Sehwag avoided attending the press conference in Sydney.
Reports of dissensions surfaced mainly after the team management introduced the rotation policy for only three openers - Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, a move which sparked off a heated debate on its merits.
On Thursday, the BCCI had also claimed that there was no rift in the team and there was nothing to be "concerned about", it is learnt that secretary Sanjay Jagdale has been entrusted with the task of talking to the team management and helping restore peace in the dressing room.
